6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Or Tnurs.. Oct. 27, 1949 Chances Of Escaping Injury From Blast Of Atomic Bomb Good At Distance Of 4 Miles MEXICO CITY. 'Pi You do have chance against the atomic bomb if you are at leant half a mile away from the exploiion. MaJ. Albert J. Bauer, of the U. S. Army surgeon general ! office ay if you're four miles away when the bomb goes off. your chances of escaping without Injury are almost perfect. But from four miles In toward the center, the safety percent ages drop off sharply. From a half-mile out to a mile and a half from the atomic blast, It is about 50-50 that you will come out alive. In the half-mile Inner circle "there will be almost complete destru'-tlon "with deaths very close to 100 per cent," Bauer says. Bauer prepared this report with Capt. John R. Hogness of the U. S. Army medical center for presentation today before the 12th International congress of military medicine and pharmacy meeting here. Military medical officers from 28 nations are at tending the Congress. Basing their findings on the atomic explosions at Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Bikini, the two Army medical men aescrinea me HARRY C.

Agreeing that "the atomic bomb is truly a fparful and ex tremely destructive weapon," the report emphasizes that the Dfbllc must realize "an atomic be almost explosion is not'the end for all concernpn. Lesson Of Hiroshima Al Hiroshima, 50.000 In a city of 250,000 died from one bomb. I But Ihe report blamed the high death rate on the downtown lo cation of hospitals. At Hiroshima nine-tenths of the doctors and nurses were bomb casualties. This prevented medical aid which could have saved many vlrllms. The report said of all Hiro shima deaths, only 15 in 100 came from the mysterious and much feared radiation sickness. Most deaths resulted from injur ies common to any other bom bardmentburns, fractures, con tusions and lacerations. Bauer and Hogness regard widespread fire and severe burns as the greatest hazards of the bomb. The Intense flash of the blast sends out heat waves that can ignite inflammable materials a mile and a half away. And what to do about a bomb attack? Buer and Hogness re commended preparedness mea sures not much different from those for any other kind of bomb ing. Bauer and Hognesn call for education and planning for an atomic emergency to prevent hysteria. 2!U a ZT7 A Dtptnda Performance With' 2HSST0N CHAIN SAW Designed and built by Dintoo, America's foremost sow mono lecturer, this b the tow you need to lowt-r your coitt and tap up your production.
